The bullpup configuration has become a go-to choice for shooters who demand full-length ballistic performance in a compact package. For precision shooters and tactical-minded owners who want power without a long footprint, a modern .308 bullpup offers a compelling blend of ergonomics and capability.

KELTEC RFB .308 is a gas-operated, bullpup-style semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 (7.62x51mm NATO). The name itself—Rifle, Forward-ejection, Bullpup—signals a distinctive approach: forward ejection to improve ambidextrous handling, a compact overall length while retaining an effective barrel, and a design introduced in 2007 with production starting in 2009. This particular example shows a backyard paint job done quite well and some wear as shown in photos, so buyers should review images carefully.

Design & Operation

The RFB’s gas-operated action is tuned for the .308/7.62×51 NATO cartridge, offering reliable cycling across a range of loads. As a true bullpup, it places the action and magazine behind the trigger, shortening overall length without sacrificing barrel length—an advantage for maneuvering in tight spaces while preserving muzzle velocity and accuracy. The forward-ejection system helps keep spent cases away from the shooter’s face and eases use for left- or right-handed operators.

Practical Features

Expect the characteristic balance of a bullpup platform and the handling trade-offs it brings: compactness and pointability versus conventional manual-of-arms. The visible cosmetic wear and the tasteful backyard paint job make this rifle a unique piece—functionally familiar but visually distinct. Price for this listing is $1498.99, which positions it competitively for buyers seeking a factory-derived bullpup in .308.

Caliber: .308 (7.62x51mm NATO)

The .308/7.62x51mm NATO is a versatile centerfire cartridge: capable of effective precision at medium-to-long ranges, widely available, and compatible with a broad variety of barrel lengths and bullet weights. In a compact rifle like the RFB, you retain substantial terminal performance and downrange energy with better maneuverability than a full-length platform.

Buying Considerations

When evaluating this RFB, consider the cosmetic paint work and visible wear in the photos, the rifle’s service history if available, and the price of $1498.99. KELTEC’s RFB platform is notable for bringing forward-ejection and bullpup geometry to .308 semi-autos—appealing to shooters who prioritize compact precision.
